The effects of sanctions on couples living together: Faster return to work and avoidance of personal sanctions?

Abstract

"Due to an imposed benefit sanction by the job centre welfare recipients exit more rapidly into employment subject to social insurance contributions. For women this is not only the case due to their own sanction, but also when their partner is subject to a benefit sanction. This is shown by a recent study by the IAB." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
